Yeah, there really are a lot of options out there.

Several years ago, I bought one of these handhelds:
http://www.gcw-zero.com
However, a few months ago (after not using it for a while), I noticed its LCD seems to have stopped working properly, as it now shows a really distorted image.

That review for the Powkiddy says it's "stacked full of ROMs" - It sounds like it comes preloaded with ROMs for various game systems?  I'm not sure how customizable it is from that review.  One thing I liked about the GCW Zero is that you could install whatever emulators and ROMs you wanted on it - and people even developed native games for the GCW Zero (though the developer community for the GCW Zero wasn't all that large).
